Hi JD, You didn't miss anything - the ribbackbone command always affects the entire model (which I agree can be inconvenient). http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/ribbackbone.html It is a whole-model setting that can also be changed in the molecule model attributes panel (opened by choosing "attributes..." from the Model Panel). You might be able to get what you want by opening the structure twice and showing ribbon for one copy and backbone atoms for the other copy. Best, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Dear all,
I have a problem with the ribbackbone option. I have a model with the ribbon displayed for all the prot and the atoms of the residues on the binding site displayed in stick. I want backbone and ribbon representation for one residue only, let say my residue 93.
When typing:
ribbackbone :93
This displays all the backbone atoms for all the residues of the binding site.
What did I missed on the ribbackbone command?
Cheers, JD
